Custom MX and A Records

Every single registered domain has at least two Name Server records that show where it is hosted i.e. by using these records you point your domain to the servers of a particular web hosting company. In this way, you've got both your website and your emails managed by the same company. On the lower level of the Domain Name System (DNS), nevertheless, there are lots of other records, like A and MX. The first one shows which server deals with the site for a given domain and is always an IP address (123.123.123.123), while the latter indicates which server deals with the e-mails and is always an alphanumeric string (mx1.domain.com). For example, any time you type a domain name in your browser, your request is forwarded through the global DNS system to the provider whose NS records the domain name uses and from there you could be forwarded to the servers of another service provider if you have set an IP address of the latter as an A record for your domain. Having independent records for the website and the emails means that you may have your website and your e-mails with two different providers if you'd like.

If you have a Linux hosting from us, you're going to be able to see, create and change any A or MX record for your domains. Assuming that a specific domain has our Name Servers, you are going to be able to to modify specific records via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and have your website or e-mails pointed to any other company if you'd like to use only one of our services. Our state-of-the-art tool will allow you to have a domain name hosted here and a subdomain below it to be hosted someplace else by modifying only its A record - this will not affect the main Internet domain in any way. If you want to use the e-mail services of another service provider and they want you to create more than 2 MX records, you can easily do it with only a few clicks within the DNS Records section of your Control Panel. Also you can set different latency for every single MX record i.e. which one will have priority.
